The recent advances in smart devices and communication technologies offer many opportunities to the creation of innovative smart environments and services. In particular, there is a strong interest about smart homes and energy-cost control services. Indeed, firstly the residential sector has been proved to be one of the most energy-intensive [Bertoldi et al. 2012]; secondly a lot of research recently focuses on smart device connectivity issues and information management models [Kofler et al. 2012] as well as energy efficiency architectures and services for the smart home [Torunski et al. 2012]. However, energy control is only one of the possible enabling functionalities; in fact, smart homes can make several intelligent objects cooperate each other to achieve higher performances and support the users’ everyday life: higher safety, better comfort, improved quality of life, reduced operative costs, or assisted living functionalities.

Abstract
The recent advances in smart devices and communication technologies offer many opportunities to the creation of innovative smart environments and services. In particular, there is a strong interest about smart homes and energy-cost control services. Indeed, firstly the residential sector has been proved to be one of the most energy-intensive [Bertoldi et al. 2012]; secondly a lot of research recently focuses on smart device connectivity issues and information management models [Kofler et al. 2012] as well as energy efficiency architectures and services for the smart home [Torunski et al. 2012]. However, energy control is only one of the possible enabling functionalities; in fact, smart homes can make several intelligent objects cooperate each other to achieve higher performances and support the users’ everyday life: higher safety, better comfort, improved quality of life, reduced operative costs, or assisted living functionalities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
